RSPH is recruiting for a motivated, experienced and talented senior marketing professional to lead the development and growth of our marketing and communications output.  We are looking for an individual with experience across the marketing mix who is able to successfully harness insight to deliver commercial success and impact in our influence and voice. You will be equally at home leading on marketing strategy as you are focused on the delivery of the tactical detail.

In return you will have the opportunity to work for an organisation driven by purpose, values, passionate people and impact.

The Challenge

RSPH is the world’s oldest public health organisation, with 170 years of history and a Royal Charter.  We are currently developing our strategy and are at the beginning of a change process.

Our income is generated across a number of income streams including:

• Qualifications – we are an awarding body, working with over 600 Centres across the UK
• Our membership – over 6,000 members, with a quarter based outside the UK
• Our education products including journals, digital learning , conferences
• Corporate memberships
• Commissioned programmes in public health

Some of these income streams work across multiple markets, both B2B and B2C.  A number of these markets are challenging, both in the context of the pandemic and over the longer term.

You can find more details in our Annual Report

Job Purpose: To build and lead our marketing function

To do so, key activities will be:

• Develop and lead the marketing function for RSPH, working with the Commercial Director to drive growth in profitability that supports the impact we seek.
• Drive the development and implementation of the marketing communications strategy that supports the Business Plan (developed by the Commercial Director). 
• Lead the marketing communications, developing our brand messaging, manage our social media, advertising and SEO, driving our outbound campaigns.  Testing, measuring and analysing will allow you to develop insight into what works and what doesn’t for RSPH.
• Spearhead the development of our website, driven by customer and stakeholder need.  This will involve working across the organisation and, in particular, with the IT Manager and relevant suppliers.
• Support the development of our market, competitor, customer and business insight.
• Coach and develop one or two new Marketing Executives, supporting them to deliver successful collaterals and campaigns.

What you will bring:

• You will have a proven track record in marketing communications preferably, but not essentially, within the not-for-profit sector. 
• You will understand both B2B and B2C marketing and whist you may have specialised in one, you will be able to apply the marketing principles.  You will enjoy analysis and results as much as creativity.  You can balance the science and art that good marketing demands.
• Your diplomatic skills will help you succeed in a matrix environment.
• You will demonstrate an excellent understanding of the testing, reporting and analysis of marketing campaigns and be happy to be judged by your results.
• You will have designed and developed a database driven website which has multiple integrations.
• You will understand the responsibilities of a Manager, and will have developed or be developing leadership skills.
• You will relish the challenge of an underdeveloped marketing function, and have the drive, resilience, ambition to deliver strong results
• You will be able to test copywriting and creative approaches. You are able to undertake basic copywriting.  You are also likely to bring a contact book of copywriters and creatives.
• Ideally, you will have had success in qualifications, membership or education and an interest in public health.  We know you are unlikely to bring all of this – so an ability to learn quickly is a requirement.

In return we offer:

• Pension contributions
• 25 days annual leave
• Organisational commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees
• Flexible working hours and remote working opportunities
• Most importantly, the opportunity to change the world whilst working in a friendly team

RSPH values and actively strives to have a diverse and inclusive workforce in a working environment free from discrimination.

About us

We are Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK), one of the very few medical research charities, investing our funds to encourage breakthrough research and education programmes in bone, joint and muscle wellbeing. Our aim is to reduce the burden of poor musculoskeletal (MSK) health on individuals, workplaces and our health system.

The need we serve is ever worsening: 19m people suffer from MSK problems in the UK, costing the NHS £5bn per year, resulting in ever-lengthening NHS waiting lists, and the loss of 30m working days to the UK economy.

We fund innovative research projects in the UK that expand knowledge, improve patient outcomes and pioneer new forms of MSK diagnosis and treatment. Our investment makes a real difference to the lives of millions of people suffering poor MSK health, today and into the future. Since 2004 we have invested £11m on research on 140 projects in the UK. Over the next three years we plan to invest a further £2.5 on research and attract £0.5m in partner contributions.

We support education, primarily through workshops, training courses, lectures, virtual conferences and webinars that will improve knowledge of MSK conditions. During the past year we staged 55 events and in total we educated 8,303 healthcare professionals with the support of 491 faculty members. On average, 98% of participants rated our events as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ in terms of educational value.

Despite the tremendous burden placed on individuals and society, MSK health does not always receive the attention or investment that it merits. This is why, in addition to using our funds to fill the most important gaps in research funding and professional education, we work with partners, such as leading professional institutions, to attract additional investment to the sector.

By working together and sharing knowledge and ideas, we can become a stronger voice for MSK health.

Purpose of the role

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Communication and Marketing Manager to join our team to take ownership of engaging with our MSK community in order to drive the education, research, reach and profile of Orthopaedic Research UK’s activities. The role will focus on:

1. Growing the market demand for our training courses and events for healthcare professionals working within MSK disciplines
2. Inspiring researchers to innovate, translate, and disseminate results of their research works
3. Engaging partners including Universities, industry, commercial organisations, Charities, donors, etc.
4. Developing and growing the MSK community to achieve the vision of the charity
5. Reporting our charitable activities and impact on society.

In this role you will manage a portfolio of communications and marketing activities that engage, inspire and inform the MSK community about our work. Through your understanding of these audiences and your innovative approach, you will manage, develop and deliver a range of communication channels to support the bespoke marketing and communication needs of research and education-facing teams in ORUK.

This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark within a small well-established charity that has ambitious growth plans and a ‘can do’ mentality. We are a small, vibrant and agile team that encourages creative and innovative thinking.

Due to COVID-19, the team is currently following a hybrid model of work although this is subject to regular review. This role will be required to work remotely 3-4 days a week. Most of our educational activities are still taking place online but we are now returning to some of our face-to-face programmes.

Reporting directly to CEO.

"The pandemic has heightened the UK's understanding of the need for access for all to good food, and we have been able to grow the impact of our charity in response to that growing awareness. Serving good food is what our charity's for - we exist to make a tangible nutritional difference in people’s lives, because access to good food is a right, not a privilege. 

"Like most of the country's charities, our organisation has had a turbulent 18 months; delivery of our school meals and meals on wheels operations have been critical, and our staff have been frontline throughout. We have adapted with each change of Government guidance, and with every supply-chain challenge. Our incredible teams have achieved a zero-service-failure outcome through the pandemic, even through massively increased demand, and have stepped forward to work beyond their normal patterns - to help us make a difference. They're unstoppable.

"As a result, in addition to meals served in schools and in vulnerable adults homes since March 2020, our charity has served 165,975 free, nutritious meals to struggling local residents. And we're hungry to do more.

“2021-22 is about 'Covid recovery' for our organisation - recovery of our reserves, energy, and balance. Going forward there is a tangible opportunity for our next CEO to increase our impact even further, building on the change and momentum that's been achieved in the past 18 months.

"The 6 area of focus of our current strategic plan are:

1. rebuilding our reserves;

2. safeguarding our impact;

3. standing for good nutrition;

4. developing our people;

5. digitising our systems;

6. extending out influence and community.

"The successful candidate for this role will need steel, creativity, empathy... a massive dose of pragmatism, and a true passion for making a difference in tough times. This is a superb opportunity for our next leader to extend our charity's impact in Southampton, and help ensure our city's youngest and oldest residents get the nutrition they need to thrive."
